Here at Fueled, a design and development company based in New York and London, we are obsessed with everything that happens in mobile, be it rumors of iPhone hardware, delectable Android updates or new apps we love.

UBER VALUE

APPLE BUG FIX

Former iPhone users who've switched over to Android have been suffering from an annoying problem lately: whenever a current iPhone user sends them a message, it gets lost within iMessage. Apple has recognized the problem and is reportedly looking to fix the glitch. via Re/code

TUNNEL VISION

VentureBeat, our buddies in the Fueled Collective, recently introduced us to the app Tunnel Vision. With the app, users can point their smartphone camera at an image of the New York City transit system and the app automatically overlays information about the map via data from the MTA. Tunnel Vision features some interesting information including official schedules, estimated number of riders, and datasets on median income and rent prices. via VentureBeat
